Someone should look at Compuware (CPWR).  They seem to be hiring more H1-B visa applicants and then putting them to work in areas other than what the visa stipulates.

You have got to be kidding me! Only NOW there has been some minor acknowledgement of a problem??? I am a IBM certified AS/400 Programmer with 9 Years in the field now preparing for bankruptcy!

Allow me to share an email I sent to the President (now gets bounced back as undeliverable) Congress and the Senate. By the way I now am working in the Kosher Deli industry preparing to file for Bancruptcy CH7!!

I would like to know how is my filing for Chapter 7 Bankruptcy good for the economy? It's not good for mine losing my car I need it to find work in NJ CT PA since the Hi Tech H1- L1 Guestworker Visa Program came into being I could forget finding work in NY Credit card companies charging higher interest rates because you can't pay cost of living and their over inflated bills.

I know there are US Government Kick backs to companies in the way of documented $2000 USD per head H1B Grants for every one hired, thereby you talk the talk but fail miserably in the walking department. What do I need to do to get your attention throw a towel on my head and blow my self up? I just want a fair chance for my American Dream. That hypocrite Bill Gates forgets U.S. Citizens built this country not China not India not Pakistan! Lets LOOK out for our own for once! I am not referring to the companies of your interest, but THE POOR and getting POORER AMERICAN PEOPLE! 

Not one week after Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates testified in Congress, various sources are reporting that House leaders intend to bring up legislation that would increase high-skilled foreign worker visas. H.R. 5630, sponsored by Rep. Gabrielle Giffords (D-AZ), would increase the annual cap for high-tech H-1B visas from 65,000 to 130,000 starting this year, and up to 180,000 by the year 2010. This legislation also makes it easier for foreign students who are graduates in high-tech fields to enter or stay in the U.S. and compete with U.S. graduates.(Congress Now, March 18, 2008)

This latest move only further illustrates how Congress is willing to bend over backwards to oblige special interests-interests determined to ensure that any enforcement legislation, such as the SAVE Act (H.R.4088), does not pass Congress unless it has goodies for them. While the influence these special interests has over Congress is appalling, the move to increase the number of foreign guest workers is particularly disturbing given the fact the Labor Department announced not one week ago that the U.S. economy had lost 63,000 jobs and yesterday the Federal Reserve cut interest rates in an effort to stabilize the economy.

But the push to import more high-tech foreign workers isn't the only scheme politicians are devising behind closed doors. Just three weeks ago, House Leadership began negotiating legislation promoted by Congressman Joe Baca (D-CA), Chairman of the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, that would grant 5-year amnesty visas to the 12-20 million illegal aliens currently in the country. And not two weeks ago, Congressman Bart Stupak (D-MI) began efforts to bring legislation to the House floor that would allow employers to import more unskilled H-2B guest workers. Now, Capitol Hill newspapers are reporting that House Leadership-eager to address immigration in a "comprehensive" manner-is considering a package that would contain all of these elements

Part of the problem with H1B abuse is due to USCIS NOT verifying the contents of applications.

When my Indian employer in 2002 applied for my H1B, there was a typing mistake in the application prepared by the immigration attorney - my year of birth was printed incorrectly as 2001 with the correct date and month. Did the USCIS verify the contents of the application? It would have been obvious to anybody looking at my application the year of birth is wrong. My application stated my college edu 6 years before the stated year of birth. My Sun Java certification date is shown as 1 month after my stated date of birth.

I received a H1B approval with the wrong year of birth application! I was preparing to fly when one manager noted this mistake and informed the immigration attorney to file for correction. The correction came after 2 weeks and then I came to USA.

hi,

i have attended an interview for my H1B on 12 Dec 2007 and at the time of interview things went well and the officer told me that i will get my passport with visa stamp in two days.

But after two days when i received my passport, a green form asking for some documents from employer, was attached with it.

The employer provided me the documents in March and i have submitted them to Embassy and after 6 months i received a letter from Embassy stating that they can't give me visa as my employer is not in a condition to support my application.

I had paid $2500 to the employer. And now when i called him for refunding my money he is refusing to refund my money back.

My questions are:

1. When USCIS had approved my application then how can embassy refuse to give a visa?

2. Don't USICS checks for Employer status before approving a petition? If its not doing this then USCIS is responsible for increasing no. of frauds.

3. How can i get my money back from employer?

4. What action i can take against the employer? Where can i report this fraud?
